Only the flotation process mentioned above could make this practicable; and even so, it requires large companies with huge plants, continuous working and immense capital. This explains why, in order to smelt 4 million tons of new copper in 1963, nearly 400 million tons of ore had to be handled and treated in various ways.

The modified rate equation is: =1.(1—e 4*-4")) (8) The changes in flotation variables such as air flow rate and collector dosage change the numerical values of &, and/or k. The effect of the variable on flotation is interpreted from the trend in the change of these parameters.

The recovery of copper by sulphidisation and flotation from a mixed ore has been studied in detail in this thesis. Particular focus was given to the effect of pulp chemistry on the sulphidisation mechanism and subsequent flotation response of oxidised sulphide minerals, both of which are not prevalent in the literature.

ABSTRACT 484 Characterizing flotation recovery variability of copper ores Cornelius F Vos* & Deirdre J Bradshaw Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre, Sustainable Minerals Institute, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia ABSTRACT The detailed understanding of the variability in process performance parameters within an ore body forms a key aspect of …

For the flotation process is effective using of open control loops, which are used as input parameter the ore quality. To determine the quality of ore is carried out on-line analysis of its elemental and mineral composition and structure. The basis of the operational analysis is the measurement of X-ray and visible light.

After carrying out a froth flotation separation, the products are as shown in Table 1. Using this data, calculate: (a) Ratio of concentration (b) % Metal Recovery (c) % Metal Loss (d) % Weight Recovery, or % Yield (e) Enrichment Ratio Table 1: Grade/recovery performance of a hypothetical copper ore flotation process.

of various flotation parameters, such as flotation time, PAX dosage, slurry pH and air injection rate on beneficiation of copper from the low-grade copper ore were studied. The recovery of copper reached 93.1% and the grade of copper improved to 18.2 mass% from 0.4 mass% under collector-less opti-mum flotation conditions.

Flowsheet for treatment of Copper Sulfide ores rich inminerals such as chalcopyrite with gold and silver as well as arsenopyrite. The above flowsheet is designed for the treatment by flotation of copper as chalcopyrite with gold and silver values. The ore, ranging from 60-65% silica, with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and calcite with 3 to 4% copper.

This study is based on the primary data from flotation process experiment for enrichment of copper. Seven variables were studied in experiments. The variable were

The paper presents a way of combining neural networks with evolutionary algorithms in order to find optimal parameters of the copper flotation enrichment process. The neural network was used in order to build a model describing the flotation process. The network learning was carried out with the use of samples from previous empirical measurements of the …

Rich copper concentrate is produced from crude copper sulfide ore by means of a flotation process that takes advantage of the physical and chemical properties of small copper ore particles. To maximize the yield of copper, pH control is necessary in the flotation tanks. Crushed ore (containing 1 to 2 % copper), along with water and a

A Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation. In general most operations of this type have two or more parallel ...

copper removal, from such minerals blend, was obtained. Through this study, the influence of some parameters, affecting the leaching process, and the flotation pro-cess of the leach residue were defined. Finally, the oxide–sulfide copper ore, used in the experimental part, was taken from the current mine works in the Copper Mine Cerovo.
